Applications, Deployments, and Integration of Internet of Drones (IoD): A Review

Abstract

The Internet of Drones (IoD) has become a hot research topic in academia, industry, and management in current years due to its wide potential applications, such as aerial photography, civilian, and military. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of IoD and its applications, deployments, and integration. We focused in this review on two main sides; IoD Applications include smart cities surveillance, cloud and fog frameworks, unmanned aerial vehicles, wireless sensor networks, networks, mobile computing, and business paradigms; integration of IoD includes privacy protection, security authentication, neural network, blockchain, and optimization based-method. A discussion highlights the hot research topics and problems to help researchers interested in this area in their future works. The keywords that have been used in this paper are Internet of Drones.
